Title: Snow Coating Time again
Post by: PP on June 23, 2018, 01:17:16 PM
I spent 4 days cleaning and prepping the roof for a fresh coat of Snow Coat.  :( Weather predictions looked great.  ;D The stuff i used this time was a bit more spendy, but it's a lot nicer to work with. Starts out light blue, which I wouldn't have minded if it stayed that color because it went with the buses color scheme nicely, then turns white as it cures. I finished in the afternoon and it looked really good. Put away a couple of beers and some rum in celebration  :P Checked the weather forecast early evening and they predicted heavy fog by the AM. :-\ By late evening the forecast turned to drizzle by AM. :( It ended up raining by AM and my roof is a bright blue again  :'( Fortunately, no streaks running down sides of bus so I'm keeping fingers crossed. :-X Clouds burned off by noon and the sun is shining bright and blue is turning back to white  ;D  :) Only had a few streaks that wiped right off. All is good.
BTW-I kinda like this new look for the forum.  :D

If you Google snow roof systems you should come up with it. I used Henry's roof coating in the past and although it wasn't bad, I get a better feeling from this. The Henry's streaked down the side even 2 weeks after it was on. I picked it up at an Ace Hardware store so I'm sure it's easy to find. $30.gallon. The first coat I ever put up there took almost 5 gals. Now it only takes about a gallon and I do it every several years depending on where we're parked. Trees are bad for RV roofs and so is wet and warm that encourages fungi growth.
Good luck and HTH,
Will
